du Reports Record-Breaking Q3 2024 Results: Highest Profit in 3 Years with 49.7% Growth

Emirates Integrated Telecommunications Company PJSC (du) has unveiled exceptional financial results for the third quarter of 2024, showcasing remarkable growth across all key metrics. The telecom leader reported a stellar 9.1% revenue increase and an impressive 16.9% surge in EBITDA, achieving its highest-ever quarterly EBITDA margin of 48.3% since company inception.

The company's Q3 net profit skyrocketed to Dh719 million - marking its strongest quarterly performance in three years - while nine-month profits soared by an extraordinary 49.7%. This outstanding achievement reflects du's successful execution of its strategic vision, combining commercial excellence with disciplined cost management as it transforms from traditional telecom services to becoming the UAE's premier Telecom and Digital Services Provider.

du demonstrated powerful commercial momentum during the quarter, with total revenues climbing to Dh3.6 billion - a solid testament to the company's growing market leadership and service innovation.

The profitability story proved even more compelling, as EBITDA jumped to Dh1.7 billion through enhanced operational efficiencies and smart cost optimization strategies, establishing new benchmarks for industry performance with that record-setting margin approaching fifty percent.

Net profit growth outpaced even these strong results, leaping by an astonishing 42.7% to reach Dh0.7 billion for the quarter while maintaining capital discipline - evidenced by a capital intensity ratio of just 12.2% over nine months.

The business segment saw transformative developments including a strategic brand portfolio refresh introducing two innovative sub-brands (du Tech and du Infra) alongside forging a landmark global partnership with Orange Corporation designed to accelerate digital transformation across regional enterprises.

"Our third quarter performance demonstrates our successful dual strategy of strengthening core connectivity while expanding into next-generation digital services," said Fahad Al Hassawi, Chief Executive Officer at du. "The launch of our new sub-brands represents more than just refreshed branding - it signals our fundamental evolution into becoming architects of comprehensive digital ecosystems through infrastructure modernization and technology innovation." "With robust cash generation supporting both continued investment in growth initiatives and strong shareholder returns, we're confidently reaffirming all aspects of our full-year guidance," he concluded.

税理士料金の相場|個人事業主と法人でどう違う?
税理士料金の相場|個人事業主と法人でどう違う?
税理士に依頼する際、最も気になるのが料金の相場です。しかし、個人事業主と法人では、依頼内容や業務量が異なるため、単純な比較はできません。個人事業主の場合、確定申告のみを依頼するケースが多く、料金は比較的シンプルです。売上規模や記帳の有無によって費用は変わりますが、業務範囲が限定されている分、全体の負担は抑えやすい傾向があります。一方、法人では決算・申告に加えて、月次の確認や経営に関する相談が発生することも多くなります。そのため、料金も個人事業主より高くなるケースが一般的です。大切なのは、**金額そのものではなく「何が含まれているか」**です。業務内容を確認せずに契約すると、「思っていたサポートが含まれていなかった」ということにもなりかねません。自分の事業フェーズに合った関わり方を選ぶことが、結果的にコストと安心感のバランスを取ることにつながります。
